Conservatives More Likely To Be Happier - Liberals More Likely To Live Longer - Quanity or Quality.

[candycorn]

I think both Conservatives and Liberals can be equally miserable. I don't think it is fair to judge someone's length of life based on their political views, it reeks of partisanism to a certain extent, however I will say that for those who are raging liberals who go so far to the point of mutilating themselves, they won't have a good quality of life.

There may be 50 transgender kids (males who are transitioning to females) who school districts are--stupidly in my view--allowing to compete against biological females. In no way is it political or even a national story. There are probably 300 threads on this board screaming bloody murder about it. That should tell anyone who cares what they need to know about the “I must find something to be pissed about today” mood of the average right wing loon here.

You should read this board more often....wow.




Liberals, in my experience, are more aware and are more concerned than conservatives who are clearly the most self-involved persons on the planet.

You've got a dirty stomach window--you should clean it.

Was that before or after Charlottesville where you guys ran over and killed a woman, injured dozens more, beat a black guy to an inch of his life, and held that Third Reich style tiki-torch parade chating “Jews Will Not Replace Us?”

Did you see the shooting stats in Chicago this Juneteenth weekend?

I didn’t go to Charlottesville, I am a happy person and don’t see a need to protest, however if you are looking at violent protests the left had several summers of protests and death, I stay away from those as well.

You do see isolated incidents in any group but compare the millions and millions and hundreds of protests the left brags about vs the one or two every few years by those on the right. I know that those on the left tend to cut family relationships over politics more so than the right. Just the way it is . I don’t believe politics is worth stressing about.

I don’t recall seeing a bunch of political banners during the BLM riots.

I do recall seeing countless “trump” banners at J6.

Thanks for playing.

Check please.

Something else I’ve noticed about conservatives...they are incapable of handling rejection; either directly or indirectly. I think that is the root cause of so many rampage killers leaning right.

How many scream at the sky nights have you attended ?

Quantifying longevity is easy.

Quantifying happiness is hard. How does one do so objectively?

A conservative is miserable when Obama cut the deficit in half.

A conservative is happy when Trump and the Republicans doubled the deficit.

A conservative is miserable when Obama got Iran to get rid of their enriched uranium, plug a reactor, and convert another reactor to peaceful uses, and gave Iran $1.7 billion WITHOUT A WAR.

A conservative is happy when Bone Spur Donald "No New Wars" Trump bombs Iran and gets 15 Americans killed and hundreds wounded, destroys the world economy with a shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz he was too stupid to see coming, gives Iran $30 billion plus $300 billion in reparations, and no commitments from Iran.

A conservative is happy when Donald Trump runs up the price of gas (which he inherited at three dollars a gallon) to $4.60, increases the price of groceries, increases inflation, and loses over 100,000 manufacturing jobs in less than a year.

A conservative is happy when our nation's importers are forced to pay higher tariffs, passing the cost onto their consumers, with exceptions made for oligarchs who are exempted from tariffs when they give Trump cash and prizes.

A conservative is happy when millions of Americans, including their fellow MAGAs, lose their healthcare subsidies and food assistance, and farmers are going bankrupt at a rate not seen in years.

A recent thread caught my attention on liberals living longer than conservatives, which may have more to do with where you live than your personal politics. There is also research that conservatives are much happier than liberals.

Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

Who is happier about life — liberals or conservatives? The answer might seem straightforward. After all, there is an entire academic literature in the social sciences dedicated to showing conservatives as naturally authoritarian, dogmatic, intolerant...

So which begs the question is better Quality or Quantity?

Which proves my theory that my dad and granddad each lived an extra ten years on pure spite

 

[g5000]

MAGAs, like Trump, also believe they are smarter than liberals, which is very amusing.

.
What does it mean to be happy? Is it how happy you say you are, or is it how happy you act? Previous research has found that political conservatives report being happier than political liberals. But UC Irvine psychologists have discovered that those on the left exhibit happier speech patterns and facial expressions.

Prior findings that political conservatives are happier than political liberals have been based on self-reports of happiness. But claims about one’s happiness – just like claims about one’s intelligence or morality – can be inflated by the desire to see oneself in a positive light.

“If you want to know how happy someone is, one way to do it is to just ask them, and this logic has been relied upon heavily in research on subjective well-being,” said Peter Ditto, UCI professor of psychology & social behavior and co-author of the paper. “But another way to think about it is that happy is as happy does, and looking at happiness-related behavior avoids the issue of someone striving to present him- or herself as a happy person.”

Political liberals display greater happiness, UCI study finds

Results contradict earlier self-reports of higher spirits among conservatives

It should be a national, or at least, local story because such things shouldn't be allowed to happen.

I totally agree...should never happen. I've written extensively about this.

But when conserve-hate-ives try to drum this up into a battle for the nation's soul (like they do with every single topic) you have to look at them and what sort of emptiness permeates their lives.

One of them even made a list of the top ten people he hates on this site--AzogtheDefiler Can you imagine having so little to occupy your time that you come up with that sort of list?

It was a left wing push, most honest people would acknowledge this, but I wouldn’t expect anything else from you and it still doesn’t explain why the left in larger numbers protest and protest and protest.

Check and…Mate!

So no proof...just your feelings and of course...your pure hatred. Its all you have left.

Check and…Mate!

Hardly....

You know what's funny? The stores that have left lower poorer working-class neighborhoods and ghettos. We just laugh more and more. Endless insurrections. It's like the movie Oliver...More gruel please! This while those who rule with Progressive agendas live the great life as they spiel their crap. The number of resources given though from taxpayers and corporate interests keeps rising slowly.

So you believe, ANTIFA, BLM, OWS, ALF, the vagina hat girls, the women denying right wing men sex because Trump won, No Kings are all right wing groups.

Got it. At this point no amount of proof would matter. Bye.

I think they are activists who do not back a single candidate. The J6 people...backed a single candidate. You could tell from their banners. Show me some proof....

Got it. At this point no amount of proof would matter. Bye.

I see you're getting pretty angry....just as all conserve-hate-ives do when you call them out on their BS. Its okay...its what you guys do 100% of the time. Perhaps you should follow through and threaten to shoot me or something as often happens here.

Angry? How so? More of your imagination?

They back a side not a candidate, never said the back à candidate, no kings backed the left as did blm, ANTIFA, and on and on.

I don’t get angry, this forum is pure entertainment for me, I take no one seriously on this board especially comedians like yourself, heck you don’t take yourselves seriously why would I?

Have a great night.
